PlLE-WIRE FOR WEAVING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 379,545, dated March 13, 1888.

Application filed July 11, 1857.

T0 aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, GUSTAV SEGSOHNEIDER, of Yonkers, in the county of \Vestchester, State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pile-Tires for \Veaving, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved pilewire to be used in looms for making cut-pile fabrics-such as velvet, velveteen, plush, \Vilton carpets, &c.in which the blade or out ting-knife, instead of being made integral with the pile-wire, is made detachable, so that. a newblade can be readily inserted, the blade easily kept sharp,an d the piles cut with greater facility than with the pile-cutters heretofore in use.

' Theinvention consists of a pile-wire provided with a s ring-hook at the outer end, said hook having a groove extending from its inner edge and into the shank of the pile-wire, and serving to support a detachable blade, which is retained by the spring action of the spring-hook.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 rep-' resents a side elevation of my improved pile wire and cutter. Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse section on line a; :r, Fig. l, drawn on a larger scale; and Fig. 3 is a side view of the blade as detached from the pile-wire.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts. tg

Referring to the drawings, A represents my improved pile wire, which is bent at the outer end in the shape of a hook, B, said book being provided at theinner edge with a groove, a, of uniform width, that extends also to some distance along the shank of the pile wire A, as shown in Fig. l. A detachable blade, 0, isinsorted into the hook-shaped end B,and is firmly retained in position in the groove a of the same by the spring action exerted by the outer slightly-bent end b of the same on the blade 0, whereby the knife is held rigidly and reliably in position. A series of sharpened Serial No. 243.957. (N0 nwdel.)

ing toward the base of the blade, and a blunt rear part or heel which fits into the springhook B of the pile-wire, and is removed therefrom orinserted therein by placing the wirein a vise and handling the blade with a pair of pliers.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. A combined pile wire and cutter composed of a pile-wire having a spring-hook at the outer end and a detachable blade retained by said hook, substantially as set forth.

2. A combined pile wire and cutter composed of a pile-wire having a springhook at the outer end, the hook and shank of the pilewire being provided with a groove at its inner edge, and detachable blade inserted in said groove and retained by the spring-hook, substantially as set forth.

3. A combined pile wire and cutter composed of a pile-wire having a benthook atone end, said book being provided with a groove at the inner edge and an inwardly-bent outer end, anda' detachable blade that is fitted in the groove and retained by the spring action of the inwardly bent end of the hook, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention 1 havesigned my name in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
